Oxygen availability underpins energy production in multicellular organisms, yet internal oxygen gradients arise in both plants and animals. Plants sense these variations via the plant cysteine oxidase...

Mosses host diverse microbiomes that contribute to terrestrial N cycling through processes such as nitrogen (N) fixation. Thus, these microbial communities play important roles in nutrient-poor enviro...

Researchers from the University of Copenhagen have identified a previously unknown protein that may help explain how plants managed to colonize land more than 400 million years ago. The protein was st...

We discovered a previously uncharacterized moss-specific protein, Rosetta NATD-MAPK 1 (RAK1) in Physcomitrium patens, which uniquely integrates MAP kinase (MAPK)-dependent signaling with N-acetyltra.....

The ability of plants to grow faster and stronger is traced to autophagy, along with key enzymes and proteins such as AFR7, NBR1, and BZR1.

This study reveals that enhanced autophagy in root-hair-forming cells helps Arabidopsis store excess sodium, control oxidative stress and tolerate salt stress.

The evolutionary diversification of an exocyst subunit was enabled by electrostatic shifts leading to its dissociation from the ancestral complex.
